January 11, 2013 190At Modelflight, we take a lot of pride in our range of scale This 60-size ARF is certainly no ultra-micro and you will find that its range of features is just as large. Made from an all-wood construction, the Messerschmitt incorporates two Selig airfoils with just the ideal amount of washout, letting you soar at high speeds while still performing graceful landings. Additionally, Hangar 9 has included a four-section flap system, giving you a greater range of speed and manoeuvrability. One of the key features of the Messerschmitt is its ability to combine great performance with accurate scale detail. The construction of this RC plane allows for its curved surfaces to be fully sheeted. This

The most versatile RC Ultra-Micro ever is IN TRANSIT!
The E-flite® UMX™ Carbon Cub SS is a scale model of the modern Cub Crafters light-sport aircraft and it will be available in store by the end of May 2012.

As the first ever 5-channel ultra -
February 09, 2012 14The break since our last gathering at Mile End seemed to have done little to lessen the enthusiasm of our indoor pilots as we made our way back to commence yet another year at the Netball Stadium. The hire rate has increased a little to $95 which means that the Southern Soaring League, who has, in the past achieved quite outstanding amounts from the “overflow” from the exhibitionists usual ten dollars per night, their income will decrease ever so lightly. For the indoor pilots, their fee of $10 for the two hours from 8.30p.m. to 10.30p.m. will remain the same, as will their flying times. As all spectators will again be admitted free, mothers-in-law will again be welcomed with open arms.Our flying times will remain as previously with one exception. In March we will again create indoor havock, BUT IT WILL BE ON THE LAST THURSDAY IN THAT MONTH - the 29th with the flying times the same for the entire year, in other words from 8.30p.m. to 10.30p.m. Please let me remind
